Have you ever been a Nielsen Family?
Comments (11)Well, I talked to the rep. She said they don't use as much equipment as they used to but they do still take apart your TV and all that. For us it would be for 2 years, if we do it, and our viewing choices would represent 28,000 households. Hmmm, no reality shows in this house, LOL. We still haven't decided yet. Oh, and they pay 68.00 up front with periodic checks. She didn't say how much the checks are for, but that's better than 12.00 a year. Especially if it turned into one big hassle regarding the TV equipment and all that. Radio! They'd be disappointed with us too, Deanna. We only listen to it in the car. Did they hook up your car radio? Annie, they'd be fine with what you watch. They want all different kinds of watchers, which is good. I asked her if I could turn the thing on and off because I often leave the TV on for the dog. Now I'll have to be careful about what I leave on for her - if we do it....See MoreHave you ever been obsessed by a famous historical figure?
Comments (45)I've spent a lot of time with Louisa May Alcott. Her backstory is so fascinating - as are many people of her era - & the era itself. Another that really captured me was Henriette Deluzy-Desportes. After seeing the Bette Davis/Charles Boyer movie, "All This And Heaven Too", I had to get the book to read (which chronicled so much more of her life) & then became interested in its author, Rachel Field, who also had a very interesting backstory, being related to Henriette through the man she ultimately married. Her introduction to that book describes how she grew up picnicking amongst the tombstones of her new England ancestors & how it inspired her to research & write about this mysterious woman.

Comments (8)Sounds like your excited...about your project. Your mind is busy planning the next step. I have had so many projects and remodels now. I can sleep for 4-5 hours under these circumstances. But yes....I still get excited, my mind races, I'm happy to be working and having a project....so it's ok. Construction is work where your results are instant....you do the work and feel the success.....not like when I was in IT....See MoreHave you ever been elated to leave a job?
Comments (25)Two25, I am very happy for you being able to leave your current job situation and take a break. A long time ago, early in my career, I was very happy to leave one job. The people I worked with and the work itself were great, but the boss at the top was awful. He had staff meetings where he rambled on for an hour and a half about nothing. He would endlessly talk about himself and what HE had been doing, as he was always on the road in DC or somewhere. It was all blah, blah, blah, and none of us could ever figure out what he had said and what it had to do with what our mission was. None of us ever really knew what he was up to as he didn’t really bring us new work. We later found out he had some nefarious deals going on, along with another supervisor who was always pretty shady too. These were government employees who were ‘reassigned’ as I found out later. I was the only female engineer and it was really hard to imagine getting ahead or promoted. I started applying for jobs and sure enough, got a call one day. I didn’t realize just how really unhappy and stuck I felt until I got into my new job. Best move I ever made....See More
